Former Soldiers' Home on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. Designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree, and built opposite the Wyndford Barracks in the 1890s, it served as a respite house for soldiers and their wives. For a small fee, soldiers could rent a quiet room in this building, and newly wed ones could spend their honeymoon night there. This photo was taken a couple of years ago, and it has largely been lying empty since then.

I love a set of windows which climb a wall with the internal stairs! These are on a former church in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.

This plaque has been around for a while, but I passed it a few times while training for last weekend's Great Scottish Run, and it always makes me smile when I do, so I thought I'd post it again. It's on a wall beside the Maryhill Locks in Glasgow.

The original site of the foundry became the Phoenix Park in 1891, with the aim of providing a recreational space for the people lving in the crowded tenements of the Cowcaddens area of the city. The park was lost when the M8 motorway was built in the 1970s.

A Phoenix rising from the flames on the side of Maryhill Community Central Hall in Glasgow. This mural commemorates the Phoenix Ironworks, which was established at 52 Queen Street by Thomas Edington in 1797. It later moved to Garscube Road near the Central Hall, where they specialised in making ornamental ironwork.

Love the curved facade on this 1860s Classical style townhouse on Wilton Street in the northwest of Glasgow. The arched windows on the ground floor are also rather impressive. However, I wonder if that curve makes it quite difficult to find furniture to fit against the walls of the front rooms.

Love this rather unusual gushet tenement on the corner of Panmure Street and Firhill Road in the north of Glasgow. The octagonal column of corner oriel windows is particularly eye-catching.
